Functional Foods

The good news with functional foods is that what you do eat may be more important for your health than what you don't eat. Examples include everything from fruits and vegetables to fortified or enhanced foods. Biologically active components in functional foods may impart health benefits or desirable physiological effects. Functional attributes of many traditional foods are being discovered, while new food products are being developed with beneficial components.
